Corporations and billionaires don’t want you to know what political messages they are funding. That’s why they make the info so difficult to find. PaidForBy.info changes the game. It’s 100% free to use. Please check it out and spread the word!

Ineligible votes are exceedingly rare, yet treated as a grave threat to our elections. But when far more ballots from eligible voters get rejected over technicalities, nobody bats an eye. And the imbalance works to Trump's advantage: demdock.com/4zfOYLe

When he gets a little older, you can watch NOVA together! Years ago I called my mom to let her know PBS was playing a program about cuttlefish. She turned it on and we watched the program together talking about it over the phone. She died unexpectedly the following week, but I treasure that memory.

California electeds sold the nation down the river on the Paramount merger in pursuit of guaranteed film production jobs, which is the thing they think people care about the most. If you don't want a repeat of that, kick Bass out of City Hall and make sure Newsom doesn't exceed 3% in South Carolina.

“Additionally, the company agrees to a News Editorial Independence Board to help CNN and CBS maintain editorial independence.” Who, exactly, will be on this board? You and Governor Newsom will be forever counted among the complicit ones who hastened democracy’s demise.

It doesn't neutralize Republican attacks. So you end up with Republicans making the same attacks, but now your supporters are deflated. And I genuinely don't hard to say, "The party hiding the Epstein Files seems to really want to talk about teenagers' genitalia. I want to talk about the issues."
